  • Patent number: 9990481
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for a behavior-based identity system that recognizes and/or authenticates users based at least in part on determining stored behavioral events. For example, stored behavioral events may have been observed previously at a client or have been predefined by an authenticated user. Multiple behavioral events expressed by the client relative to a network site are recorded. The behavioral events may correspond to data that a user has elected to share, and the user may opt-in or opt-out of the behavior-based identity system. A comparison is performed between the multiple observed behavioral events and the stored behavioral events associated with a user identity. An inverse identity confidence score as to whether the user identity does not belong to a user at the client is generated based at least in part on the comparison.

  • Patent number: 9053307
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for a behavior-based identity system that recognizes and/or authenticates users based at least in part on stored behavioral events which have been observed previously or have been preconfigured. Multiple behavioral events expressed by a client relative to multiple resources of a network site are observed. The behavioral events correspond to data that a user has elected to share, and the user may opt-in or opt-out of the behavior-based identity system. A comparison is performed between the observed behavioral events and multiple stored behavioral events associated with a user identity. An identity confidence level as to whether the user identity belongs to a user at the client is generated based at least in part on the comparison.

  • Patent number: 8676795
    Abstract: A plurality of phrases may be extracted from documents associated with one or more document sources. The plurality of phrases may be filtered and processed to determine a frequency in which the plurality of phrases appear in the documents and/or a number of the document sources in which each phrase appears. A weight may be assigned to each of the phrases and, based at least in part on the assigned weight, a visual representation of the plurality of phrases may be presented. The visual representation may be dynamically updated based at least in part on an updated frequency or an updated total number of document sources associated with any one of the plurality of phrases.

  • Patent number: 7437713
    Abstract: A system by which a software product may be tested on multiple client computers on various platforms. Product developers submit requests for tests on their products, in the form of test packets, to a test component, via an API. For each platform and language (i.e., group) on which a product developer wants a product tested, the product developer provides a test packet that defines tests that the product developer wants conducted on the product in that group. The test component searches, via an autolab component, for an available client machine for performing the tests in the test packet. The autolab component finds an available client computer, and the client machine is assigned the test packet. The client machine performs the tasks in the test packet, and forwards the results back to the test component.
